  • My RSS reader, Akregator, has an option to open every article in an embedded web browser. I use this feature precisely for these kinds of situations. Most artists that I follow have their own websites with proper RSS feeds, but others only post on Bluesky or similar, that also only show the title and body text. If I can’t follow them through RSS, I just don’t follow them at all. I can’t be bothered to have their newsletter clog up my inbox or use some third-party service that will probably shut down when I least expect it to.





  • You may self-host your notes or calendar, but you’re forced to either recreate account systems or give up on interoperability.

    I literally just finished setting up Radicale on my old laptop, and now I can access my calendar and contacts through CalDav and CardDav from every single client under the sun. Maybe don’t use AI to write your entire article. I won’t even bother reading the rest of the article if you don’t even get this right.


  • I’ll caution against nextcloud […]

    It is indeed rather big and clunky sometimes, but there’s one feature that I really love that I could not really live without. I just tried out Seafile, but I didn’t like the whole “libraries” concept, because it made it very difficult to exclude certain subfolders that I didn’t want on a certain system or to sync multiple local folders to multiple remote folders. I’m using Nextcloud to sync my Documents, Videos, Pictures and Music folders across all of my devices, but I don’t need every single subfolder there downloaded to every single device that I use it on. I also use it to sometimes sync game save files for the ones that I don’t have on Steam. Would you happen to know a better solution than Nextcloud for something like this? I’m currently migrating it from a Raspberry Pi 2 to an older laptop that I have laying around, and I’d happily use a different syncing solution for this, and set up other features that I used (CalDAV, CardDAV) on other containers.

    P.S Syncthing looks like what I might need, but I do wonder how I can make public share/upload links with it.





  • Some of the situations that you describe should make the whole hospital feel shame! Not being able to sit upright safely sounds like the first thing that would come into someone’s mind when asked about restrictions after that surgery. “Juking” your blood pressure so that the nurses would leave you alone?! Aren’t they supposed to have the slightest idea of how this is all supposed to go down? Besides all of that, congratulations on your operation! Since you wrote that you’re open for questions, I’ll ask a few. Did you choose your own surgeon? If you did, how hard was it to find and choose them? Did you have trouble affording the entire procedure? Did you manage to get paid time off from your work? How are your new organs faring? Did you ever feel any regret for choosing this? Thanks in advance.
